Variable of document root path based on source ip

May 1, 2022, 11:23 PM

Post #1 of 9 (716 views)

I'm trying to set a virtual host on apache2 with this configuration.

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mysite.com
ServerAlias www.mysite.com

<If "-R '192.168.1.0/24'">
Define directory_path /srv/http/mysite
</If>
<Else>
Define directory_path /srv/http/under_construction
</Else>

DocumentRoot ${directory_path}

<Directory ${directory_path}>
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

The problem is that the If directive does not match when I access it
from that lan.

I'm using Apache/2.4.18.

You cannot use Define conditionally this way. It is parsed at startup and
ignores any enclosing directives

The simple approach here would be to define separate IP:80 vhosts and set a
separate document root in each vhost.

Do all clients come from the 192.168.1.0/24 range?

Possibly something like this could work:

Define directory_path_mysite "/srv/http/mysite"
Define directory_path_under_construction "/srv/http/under_construction"
<VirtualHost *:80>
<If "-R '192.168.1.0/24'">
DocumentRoot "${directory_path_mysite}"
<Else>
DocumentRoot "$(directory_path_under_construction}"
</If>
<Directory "${directory_path_mysite}">
Require all granted
</Directory>
<Directory "${directory_path_under_construction}">
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Both DocumentRoots would be initialized at startup (when Defines are
evaluated, the <Directory paths must be known then), while the
DocumentRoot used at runtime will be determined based on the <If
still.

Regards;
Yann.

But DocumentRoot might not be allowed in an <If section..

No, I have clients that from wan too. Basically when I make some
important changes to a site...all clients from wan to view the
under_construction directory.

A blunt approach could also leverage mod_rewrite, but I would test Yann's
suggestion. You can rewrite the path to the filesystem provided that the
RewriteRule is in the vhost context.
